22
Q

What is the formula for potassium permanganate or potassium manganate (VII)?

23
Q

Why do transition metals exhibit variable valency?

2

A

Because there is such a small energy difference between the 4s and 3d sublevels

This means that they can lose different numbers of electrons from these sublevels to give metal ions with different positive charges

24
Q

Describe a compound ending in -ide.

A

Contains just two elements

25
Q

Describe a compound ending in -ate.

A

Contain oxygen as well as two other elements

26
Q

What is the ending to all ionic compounds containing just two elements?

27
Q

What is the ending to all ionic compounds containing oxygen as well as two other elements?
